Lt. Deegan or Deacon, not sure of the name, is a real Coast Guard rescue Swimmer named Graham McGinnis. He was just recently awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for rescuing fire fighters off a cliff with a wild fire bearing down on them. The guy is a real life badass.
The Coast Guard does not get enough respect. They literally go to war every single day. They rescue on land, sea and air. They are every type of first responder everywhere all the time in one blue uniform.
You don't seem to understand that war is a conflict between two or more human tribes that assuredly means the death of people on both sides. You don't "go to war" with nature, boater stupidity, or industrial negligence. Now, an argument could be made that they war with human traffickers and drug smugglers but, that's another matter. The men of the Coast Guard _struggle_ to save lives, directly or indirectly, every day but no, you are mistaken, they are NOT literally going to war every single day. There is no such thing as a war on natural disasters, war on drugs, war on crime, war on homelessness, or war on COVID. Those are bullshit political designations meant to mobilize public support for bureaucratic political agendas. This was a rescue operation and while they may risk their lives, it's a different kind of risk than those who stormed the beaches of Europe and the Pacific or who disarmed IEDs in Afghanistan. Fire can kill you but, it's a product of chemical interaction guided by natural laws and indifferent to human existence; it's not an insurgent or an enemy soldier with a rifle attempting to blow your brains out or capture you alive, drag you back to his superiors for torture and interrogation, then potentially behead you on _Al Jazeera_ for the sake of a thousand-year Holy War spanning five continents. And no, they're not all heroes; the pilots and helicopter personnel who brave storms to rescue people adrift during hurricanes are NOT the same as cooks on cutters who'll never face down cartel-hired guns or the wrath of that bitch we call "Mother Nature" that just whittle away their time until they can collect a pension and piss off to Florida for a less-than-stellar retirement after 20 years. There's your lesson in reality, son; you're welcome.
@@haveaday1812 Tough guy? Coming from the woman who considers every critique a challenge born from video-game-fueled insecurity? You've tipped your hand, little miss snowflake. You sound like just another angry little adolescent girl with a chip on her shoulder and something to prove because she needs to supersede the dad that didn't love her who was "part of the 'Patriarchy'"...in other words, just about every female "serviceman" I've ever had the displeasure of seeing in my brothers' uniform with "Kickass" and "Warrior" for her social media pronouns.
Sometimes war is an over inflated term, not only used by politicians but by actual infantry or other combat designated MOS’s in the military that spend most or all of their time in garrison. I take away this from the Coast Guard as a whole, they save lives and that to me goes further than some deployment to the Middle East, especially where we protected the wealthy or politically connected oil fields and owners.
Had a relative worked that arena...Dad asked him just how good are those satellite's we are sending up , Dad worried he wasn't getting his money's worth for taxes paid. Relative said without turning to my dad, said the Russian can look down and tell you it's a softball, ours can tell you its a golf ball and you can count the dimples.....that was 30 years ago.@@baguettelauncher8839

@@johnnyjericho8472Took me less than one minute to look up what he said and find several articles talking about it; stop relying on others to give you information, always good to do your own research. It is actually rather common for astronauts to notice things going on on earth, such as forest fires or large explosions. The explosion in china a few years back was likewise witnessed by astronauts as well. In fact, they were the one's who noticed the rather mysterious outbreak of fires in Canada, when idiots claimed it was "climate change" yet the fires all started pretty much within a few minutes of each other, which proved it wasn't due to climate change but rather set by people (which was also later proven to be true)
@@johnnyjericho8472No it’s true, There’s a NBC and NASA article on it but specifically the EO-1 was able to capture high resolution images of the oil slicks
Other than the guy who played Sergei in the Wire you can tell all the other Coast Guard members in this scene are actual members of the US Coast Guard.
@@joewhitehead3 It's never instant like that, and some random coast guard station in Louisiana wouldn't have the authority to task a satellite at will.
Should do a film about the Amoco Cadiz, Exxon Valdiz or Union Carbide. Oh wait, those are US disasters, not that Deepwater Horizon was a BP disaster but and of course they got the blame.
I really hate when they use real life people to play these parts in movies..shit is so cringe lmao same goes for the scene in Captain Phillips movie when hes getting checked out by the medic..shit is cringe.. just put small time actors in these speaking roles lol
@@poorned5148 actors are a lot more important to society than glorified water security guards who spend most of their time on drug interdiction. In 100 years no one will remember the names of state agents but everyone will remember the art that our people produced. Stop glorifying government.
Who better to play the role of a corpsman than a corpsman? Or a cop, firefighter or dispatcher or any other trades/skilled labor. Real life is far more dull than film, hence the 'escape from reality' aspect, but using real people for those roles adds value to the film.
How is it cringe? It’s more realistic. You’d rather some small time actor who knows nothing about the subject play it just cuz they’ll make it look “more entertaining”

Much respect to Canadian and American coast guards
Canadian coast guard had nothing to do with this movie.
@@keirboyko doesn't have to it's the respect to the nation's I'm part of and that's all that matters 🙂
Image being able to see flames on a oil rig from a Satellite!
They could read numberplates in the 80's, seeing a huge fire at night is not difficult.

true story astronauts noticed the explosion

@@cyrolocker1229they're talking about the actual fire, not the slicks afterwards
Calm and beautiful night turned into a mass rescue operation.
This is a powerful movie,
Other than the guy who played Sergei in the Wire you can tell all the other Coast Guard members in this scene are actual members of the US Coast Guard.
My biggest regret not enlisting in coast guard at 18.
Love this scene... at least the coastal guard not like police line operator, they r fast response
Get these people some headsets
Hollywood US is really living in the year 2300 with the fucking coast guard having instant satelite image on scene
Maybe they were looking for Jason Bourne.
Is it not a thing in real life?
@@joewhitehead3 It's never instant like that, and some random coast guard station in Louisiana wouldn't have the authority to task a satellite at will.
@appleintosh thank you for a legitimately informative response to this comment. Godspeed.
With sin comes sacrifice
Wonder how many of them were real Coast Guard personnel, if any?
Love it
Great movie 👍
Does someone knows the name of the actress that plays hotline responder Ensign Von Huene in the video by any chance?
Carlene O'Connor
They used actual footage for that satellite image?
It would be the butter bar
